Information Introduction Myogaksa Temple is located on the east side of Mt
Naksan in Sungin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul
First established by Monk Taeheo Hongseon in May of 1930, it has since expanded and underwent two renovations
The temple’s location was selected based on the principles of Feng Shui, which dictated that a temple built in its location would bring peace and comfort to Seoul’s residents
The Myogaksa Temple complex on Mt
Naksan accommodates a Deabul (Grand Buddha) Shrine, a Wontong Buddhist shrine, a Nakga preaching hall, Seokgulam Grotto, Sanshingak (Mountain Spirit Pavilion), and the Mae Buddha Statue
Deabul and Wontong shrines are two of the finest Buddhist architectural masterpieces
The Buddha statue, located inside the Seokgulam Grotto, was built around the ninth or early tenth century and has been designated a national cultural treasure
The Mae Buddha Statue, also located in this temple, was carved out of the rocky cliffs of Mt
Naksan and has been designated a cultural asset of the City of Seoul
Since the 2002 FIFA World Cup when Myogaksa began operating its temple stay program, the temple has become a wonderful place where locals and tourists can escape the daily hustle-and-bustle of Seoul to experience the serenity of Buddhism
